How to Hide Chat in WhatsApp:
Nowadays, WhatsApp has become the leading messaging app, which is also used to do official activities. This app is always updating its server and coming up with new features, but there is still a missing hide chat feature. There is no direct way to hide your chat on WhatsApp. You can do other things like archive the chat, block the person, or delete the chats to hide him.
1. Make the Chat Archived
WhatsApp Chat Archived is almost the same as hiding, but in this case, others can see his messages from the archive section. Initially, in this archive feature, when you archive someone, it will create a new section, and the section belongs to the end of the page. If anyone from the archived message you, then the new messages with the chats will come into the chat list again.
But a few years back, WhatsApp updated its Archive feature, and now when you archive a chat, it will go to the Archived section, and the section is showing at the top of the chat list, and you will not get any notification when people from Archived chats send you a message.
After this update, if people from Archived chats send you any message, it will not come in the chat list; it will still be there in the Archived section; just the number of chats you received from the Archived will show on the right side of the section. Now, to archive a chat on WhatsApp:
🔴 Steps To Follow:
Step 1: Launch the app, log in to your WhatsApp account, and find the person you want to archive.
Step 2: Now tap and hold on the person’s name and tap the Archived icon (something looks like a Downward icon). You can find the icon beside the Three dots icon in the top right corner.
After you tap the button, the chat will go to the Archived section, and immediately you will get a pop-up option to undo the action; if you wish, you may do so.
2. Block the Person
Blocking a person is also a good way to hide someone on WhatsApp; though it seems like a permanent hide, you can unblock the person further. After blocking the person, he will not get any time to access your account like he can not see your status; DP also can not send you messages. After blocking the person, delete his chat, and he will be hidden from your chat list. Now to block a person on WhatsApp:
🔴 Steps To Follow:
Step 1: Log in to your WhatsApp account with your phone number and find the person you want to block.
Step 2: Open his chat and tap on the Three dots button from the top right corner.
Step 3: A pop-up will come where you have to tap the last option, More, and after that, another pop-up comes containing some options.
Step 4: Tap Block and again tap Block to confirm; you can report the contact by clicking on the box. (Reporting a chat means the last 5 messages of the chat will forward to the WhatsApp technical team, where after getting 4-5 reports for the same person, WhatsApp will block the reported account.)
3. Delete the Chat
If you delete a chat with someone, it will also hide from the chat list, but it is not like blocking because, in this case, the person can message you again, which will then be in your chat list. But still, by deleting a chat, you can temporarily hide a person from the list. You can do two things: you can delete the entire chat from the chat list, and you can clear the conversation. To clear conversation on WhatsApp:
🔴 Steps To Follow:
Step 1: Open the person’s chat and tap the Three dots option from the top right corner.
Step 2: Select the last option, More, and then tap Clear chat to delete the conversation.
🏷 To delete the entire chat:
🔴 Steps To Follow:
Step 2: Open WhatsApp and login into your account and then tap and hold on to the account you want to delete.
Step 3: Select the Delete icon from the top and then tap DELETE CHAT to delete the entire chat and his name from the chat list. You can delete the media like photos, videos, and doc files related to the chat by clicking on the given box.
How to Unhide Chat in WhatsApp:
To unhide someone on WhatsApp, you can do two things: you can unarchive the person’s chat on WhatsApp, and you can unblock the person.
1. Unarchive WhatsApp Chat
If you have previously archived anyone’s chats to hide in WhatsApp, then to Unhide him again, you need to unarchive his chat. To do that:
🔴 Steps To Follow:
Step 1: Click on the Archived section from the top of the chat list and enter the section.
Step 2: Tap and hold on to the person’s name and select the Unarchive icon(which looks like an upward arrow).
